Chapter 982: Ambush the Bandits
"Eat a little more today, and deal with those bandits in the evening," waiting for the people below to open the pot and uncover the lid, Sun Hui shouted at the group of martial cultivators. Judging from Sun Hui's tone, it was obvious that those villagers had no chance to eat.
Fortunately, as an outsider who joined the team halfway, Lin Xuanzhong was not ignored by Sun Hui, and when the other martial arts cultivators had already eaten, the little girl who had originally helped to cook the meat came over with a bowl of hot meat and two steamed buns according to Sun Hui's instructions.
"Big brother, this is what Uncle Sun asked me to bring to you," On the way towards Lin Xuanzhong, the little girl almost kept staring at the meat under the steamed bun, which was even more coveted than Lin Xuanzhong.
"You eat, brother is not hungry," the little girl's appearance inspired Lin Xuanzhong's kindness, and after holding the two steamed buns in his hand with a smile, Lin Xuanzhong said generously.
"But big brother, if you don't eat meat, how can you have the strength to beat the bad guys at night?" The little girl's voice was very immature, her innocent eyes were clearer than clear water, and Lin Xuanzhong's heart was even calmer. When faced with the good things in this world, Lin Xuanzhong can always show his truest side.
"Big brother can beat bad guys like dry food," inadvertently thought of Red Tears, thinking that Red Tears was the same age as the little girl in front of him, Lin Xuanzhong had a better impression of the little girl in front of him. Speaking of which, this bowl of meat is just a psychological comfort for other martial cultivators, and it may be of some use to other martial cultivators, but it is dispensable for Lin Xuanzhong.
"Thank you, big brother," under Lin Xuanzhong's serious eyes, the little girl believed it, and after saying thank you, she walked back directly with a bowl of meat.
"Little girl, can you eat that? ”
In Lin Xuanzhong's sight, the little girl's brisk figure revealed a kind of vitality until she was stopped by a martial artist.
"Yes," the little girl who stopped agreed with a frightened face, and then turned around and walked towards Lin Xuanzhong uneasily.
"Give her food, I'm not hungry," this unexpected situation forced Lin Xuanzhong to tell some lies, I don't know why someone is still looking for trouble, Lin Xuanzhong said a word to the little girl who was still scared.
"Zhang Tu, it's okay, give her something to eat," Sun Hui, who also saw Lin Xuanzhong give the meat to the little girl, immediately said.
"Go," after Sun Hui spoke, Wu Xiu, who was named Zhang Tu, softened his tone and let the little girl go back.
On the other hand, Lin Xuanzhong was in a relaxed mood after seeing this scene, as if he had saved some trouble. Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuanzhong saw the little girl serving the bowl of meat to a few boys who were also salivating, and they were happily competing one by one, and that scene made the dry food in Lin Xuanzhong's mouth delicious for no reason. In the final analysis, Lin Xuanzhong's favorite thing to see is just the innocent and happy smiles on some people's faces, but most people's smiles are mixed with too many meanings.
"Brother Lin, Brother Sun asked me to give you another bowl," When Lin Xuanzhong withdrew his gaze and silently nibbled on the dry food, he didn't know when the big cow came over with a bowl of steaming dried meat.
"Don't you eat it?" Looking at the bowl of meat, Lin Xuanzhong had a question in his heart.
"It's okay, there's a lot of meat cooked," Da Niu smiled enthusiastically, no matter what other people's attitudes towards Lin Xuanzhong, in fact, Da Niu still felt that Lin Xuanzhong was not a bad person, so he was still very happy to talk to Lin Xuanzhong. It's just that Lin Xuanzhong sometimes looks like he doesn't like to answer, which makes Da Niu very helpless.
"Thank you," he took it unceremoniously, and Lin Xuanzhong directly tasted the hot soup, which tasted pretty good.
"Brother Lin, don't be polite to me, it's just a bowl of salted meat, when you get to Cloud City, I'll invite you to a big meal," Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong was not disgusted, Da Niu's attitude became more and more enthusiastic.
"Let's talk about it then," Anyway, Lin Xuanzhong's impression of Da Niu is not bad.
Next, the two chatted while eating, and the dinner was quite comfortable. After eating, Sun Hui officially arranged the task. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the slightly gloomy sky makes people feel that something is happening at a glance. Fortunately, there was still a sporadic bit of moonlight, which helped them to observe their surroundings.
In the evening, Sun Hui had to arrange four groups of people to keep vigil, distributed in four directions, east, west, north and south, with four people in each group, and one person staring at one hour. If the bandits hadn't come in four hours, they would have been fine tonight.
"Brother Lin, you take it, when Lin Xuanzhong was about to go with Da Niu to be in charge of the first round of vigil, Sun Hui came over with a few people, with a bow and a few arrows in his hands.
"This ......" I didn't expect Sun Hui to have this arrangement, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was a little surprised, hesitated a little when he looked at the things that Sun Hui handed over.
"It's strange that I have to want to join the army, it turns out that I can't even use a bow and arrow," but just when Lin Xuanzhong was thinking that he didn't know how to use a bow and arrow, Chen Tao's contemptuous voice came directly.
"No, no," shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong, who was a little embarrassed, took the things handed by Sun Hui, and planned to go aside to study them carefully.
"Brother Lin, thank you for your help tonight," Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong was not reluctant to arrange the vigil, Sun Hui thanked Lin Xuanzhong very gratefully, and also defused the atmosphere.
After a while, after walking to a place and sitting down, in the gust of evening breeze, Lin Xuanzhong picked up the bow and arrow in his hand and played with it. It is not difficult for the bow to open the full moon, this bow is not difficult to use, and after aiming in one direction, Lin Xuanzhong directly comprehended the method of issuing arrows.
After knowing how to use a bow and arrow, Lin Xuanzhong observed the surrounding situation with peace of mind. If nothing else, the bandits will choose to outflank them, so if one of the people in the four corners finds out, it means that the bandits are coming. Of course, you can't stop paying attention just because you have someone else around.
After sitting for half an hour, the cry in the canopy came, the night was getting deeper and deeper, the sky was more and more gloomy, after a hard day, many people had rested, but there were also some people who were also paying attention to the situation around them because of nervousness. Because Lin Xuanzhong said before that those bandits would probably come over in the first half of the night.
In this way, it lasted until an hour later, and there was still no abnormal situation around. According to the agreement, the people distributed in the four directions held bows and arrows and shook them, and then carefully went back to rest for the substitution. It was also after returning to the canopy that Lin Xuanzhong found that many people were not sleeping at all, but were just lying down and resting.
When they passed, the people just rolled over and didn't have to shout at all. Looking at the reactions of those people, Lin Xuanzhong had a strong feeling, if those bandits didn't come tonight, he was really sorry for these martial cultivators. After changing to another group of personnel, Lin Xuanzhong found a place to sit down, closed his eyes and rested quietly for a while. If nothing else, the bandits are coming.
"Someone is coming. ”
I don't know how long it has been, a voice came from the north, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was in a daze, immediately opened his eyes.
"I'll take a look," Sun Hui whispered as the martial cultivators got up in unison, and then bent over and touched to the north.
Waiting next to the night watchman, following the night watchman's point, under the sparse moonlight, a black object with a body much larger than ordinary people appeared in Sun Hui's sight. Looking closely, Sun Hui felt that it was not a human at all, but a fierce beast foraging for food, and it was not moving towards their position.
After confirming that he would not be mistaken, he asked the people guarding the guard not to be so nervous and not to fight the fierce beast as an adult, Sun Hui bent down and returned to Lin Xuanzhong again.
"It's a foraging beast, don't be nervous," after signaling the group to relax, Sun Hui returned to his original position and sat down, no longer speaking.
On the other side, because of the fierce beast passing by, the martial cultivators who were on standby at any time couldn't sleep at all.
No matter what state the others were in, to calm down, Lin Xuanzhong closed his eyes again and rested. It was late at night, and there was silence all around, and the sound of human breathing could be heard quietly. If it weren't for the fact that the group of bandits was too ordinary, Lin Xuanzhong would really have to be nervous with the people next to him.
I didn't know how long it had been, and another voice came from my ear, "It's coming." ”
After waking up again, under the bright moonlight, some moving black shadows were so clear in Lin Xuanzhong's sight. There was no need for Sun Hui to check again, Lin Xuanzhong and the other martial artists sitting in the shed knew that it was a bandit coming.
"Go according to the original plan," Sun Hui reminded the crowd, picking up the weapon he was holding. Immediately after, the dozen or so martial cultivators in the shed divided into four parts and crawled towards the night watchmen in four directions.
Time passed little by little, and after several groups of people and the night watchman converged, the figures of those bandits became clearer and clearer under the flickering moonlight, and the weapons in the hands of some people were still glowing with cold light, and in the blink of an eye, they were less than fifty meters away. After lining up one by one, Lin Xuanzhong and the other three each aimed their bows and arrows at a martial cultivator, and then there was a series of sounds of pulling strings, and the sound of the bowstrings gradually tightening made people's spirits more concentrated.
"Put," I don't know who shouted, and Lin Xuanzhong, who used a bow and arrow for the first time, directly let go of his right hand. In the next moment, the arrow from the string shot out sharply, aiming at a black shadow.
"Ah......" After a miserable scream came from the front, Lin Xuanzhong excitedly thought that he had been shot, but after a closer look, it was not the person he was aiming at who fell.
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you continue to shoot quickly?" I don't know what Lin Xuanzhong was in a daze, he didn't move after shooting an arrow, and after noticing Lin Xuanzhong's actions, Chen Tao next to him urged impatiently.
Immediately afterwards, when the surrounding bandits shouted in panic that there was an ambush, Chen Tao shot another arrow into the back of a person who was turning around and trying to escape, and after an arrow hit the person, the person fell directly. At a distance of tens of meters, the power of the bow and arrow is undoubtedly huge, and if you don't die, you will be seriously injured.
